The AMiga hasnt dominated the market for several reasons: For one, the public is generally ignorant. IBM's are obviously inferior to both NeXT, Amiga, and Mac. But people buy them anyways. FOr every idiot who makes a bad decision, and finds merit in it, hell go off and tell someone else to do the same.. That other person, being a moron as well, is lead to believe that IBM is the one and only. Wrong. So the prepetual cycle of ignorance continues to this day. For me, theres no difference between a user who goes out and gets an IBM, from a person who has the intelligence to purchase a Coleco Adam. A bad decision is a bad decision. Period. Ive used your platform, my platform, and one of the "high-end" EISA towers at work, and there pretty much is a clear winner. As for NeXT, Ive never used one to any lengthy degree, but I can say that its overpriced, and undersupported. Dosent take a BS in Comp Sci to figure THAT out.. Hell, my mom could tell you NeXT's werent worth it. My advice to you is to pick up an Amiga sometimes. You seem ill-informed. Theh mabye youll stop your >>>>>NeXT/Amiga whining. Wise up, PLEASE. Save me the typing. Arc PS... As mentioned before, shoot me for knowing my system is an incredible machine. Never degraded your Mac, did I? Will kiss your scientific-rump if you can pull a feed where it shows I have. \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ Flicker turns me on. -BJP | Get back into the SeX PiSToLs if you program in Arctangent, Naperville IL. | C.
